IMO, you need to take a rest day here and there. Jillian never intended it to be done in 30 days straight. Level 2 is harder and Level 3 is even more difficult. Take a day off and allow your muscles to recover! You'll be ok even if this is all you are doing! Or even just take a walk on the days off so you'll still feel…

I'm a teacher as well, but not sure I can offer much help! My lunch is scheduled from 10 - 10:45. Ugh...too early for lunch food! So I always have to snack later in the afternoon, around 1:30 during my prep. I just started mfp this summer so it'll be interesting to see what I do now when I go back! Good luck to you during…

BUMP

Yeah...it usually shuts them up pretty quick! And the look on their faces is priceless. :)

37...no kids. I always get the "But you'd make such a great mom" speech. I usually respond with, "I also think I'd make a great prostitute but I don't plan on trying that either." I love kids (I'm even a middle school teacher), I just don't want my own!

I'm out by the PGH airport! There is a group called Pittsburgh Pride that is full of all people from the area! Check it out...I've connected with some very encouraging people there!

Go ahead and eat. If you must, find the healthiest options. One day off isn't going to undo all of your hard work! You have to enjoy life!

You need a set of hand weights.

^^This....I have the same one and it's perfect!

I bought a Polar FT4 for 80$ at D's Sporting Goods. I love, love, love it! I even wear it for silly things, like cutting the grass! I personally feel it's more accurate than any of the other calories burned calculators I've seen on-line!

I'm a Miami grad!! But I live in Pittsburgh....

I love bananas but I can only eat them when they are green. A few brown spots and I'm done. :)

Well, actually, I'm not overweight and never have been. I only have about 10 lbs to lose. I hate to cook so the habit of eating things that were just convenient and not necessarily healthy is what made me put on those 10 lbs.

Yes....I hate eating and I hate cooking. I'd love to hear some advice on how to get over this...I find this whole process very overwhelming for the little success I've had...6.5 lbs down in 50 days. Ugh.

There is also a way you can measure using your elbow... hold your arm up and bend your elbow in so that your arm is parallel to your chest (palm facing in). Measure the distance between the two prominent bones on either side of your elbow. If it's 2 1/4 - 2 1/5 inches, you are a medium frame. Anything below that is small,…

My dream job is to be the voice you hear at airports..... "Smith, Michael Smith, please pick up a blue courtesy phone"..."Caution...moving walkway is coming to an end"... You get the point.

Patience!! It'll happen....I didn't notice a change in my measurements untill about 2.5 weeks into the Shred. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll get there! Good luck!

Sorry to hear this, but it's her loss. Perhaps she just wasn't ready to jump into another relationship so soon after her divorce. And who knows, maybe you'll reconnect again. Until then, keep doing what you're doing....you are looking great! You'll have your pick of girls and find the right one for you! Just remember to…

Bump!

Sit on the couch and do punches! It'll get that heart rate up!

I just bought and read the book, "The New Lifting Rules for Women". I highly recommend it for someone wanting to start lifting. Good luck!

Bump! Yummy!

Bump! Yummy!

Bump

You're looking great! Keep up the awesome work! :flowerforyou:

Me, me, me!! I'm 4'11 and am getting increasingly frustrated with the slow rate of my progress! I'd love to have more short friends! Anyone can add me....I'm on here all the time and a very encouraging person. ;)

They all beat me too it! YES....punches! Good luck and hope your ankles heal quickly!

I got cocky by the end of Level 1 thinking I was tough....now I'm 3 days into Level 2 and, well, not feeling that way anymore! Good luck to you...it's worth it!

I'm in the same boat, ladies! I'm 5'0, weigh 124, and am NOT HAPPY with the way I look. I know I'm not overweight so sometimes I feel bad complaining when there are others that have so much more to lose. Do you ever hear, "You're already little...you don't have any weight to lose?" I hate that.... Anyway, I've been at this…
